“I’m sure she wasn’t feeling sorry when she’s all up on my husband last night!”

When Alexandra finally married her childhood crush at the age of 25, she didn't expect that she would one day catch another woman in the arms of her husband while she hid in the bedroom closet. But there she was, anger, betrayal, and sadness washed over her all at once as she stared at her husband and the woman who had the same dark brown eyes and dark hair as her. They looked almost identical...?

That same night, she stumbled onto the beach and before she knew it, she was sitting across the table from her high school ex, Caleb, looking down at the terms of their marriage contract that he drafted up hastily. 

Fuelled by anger and betrayal by the people she once loved, Alexandra knew she had to take things into her own hands. Together with Caleb, they plot her revenge.

"Alexandra…" Her name rolled off his tongue effortlessly as though it had always belonged there, the deep baritone of his voice causing her heart to skip a beat.

Silence enveloped them in an instant as the air between them crackled with unspoken tension. The flood of memories engulfed them at that moment. How long had it been since they had last seen one another?

Effortlessly, he reached for her back and under her knees, carrying her bridal-style before heading back to the car. 

"Is there anything I can help with? As thanks for… not running me over and providing me shelter?"

"Actually, there is," Caleb said. 

Alexandra turned, raising an eyebrow. She hadn't expected him to so shamelessly take her up on her offer when they both knew it was just to be polite.

"This probably ain't the best time but… Do you want to get married?"

Her parents stayed true to their words.

They did come back for her, another 2 more times to be exact. The first time insisting that she should apologise to her sister for all the hurt she caused. And the second time, coming back to scream at her for being selfish and unreasonable.

Her mother first came barging into the room through the doors as her father trailed behind. The sudden bang of the door hitting against the wall startled her, destroying the peace and quiet that once cocooned the single ward.

"Are you really not going to do it? Your sister is crying her eyes out every day, do you not care at all?"

"No," she responded curtly, not even looking up from the book in her hands to spare them a glance.

"And stop calling that piece of trash my sister," she added, earning a scoff from her mother who rolled her eyes dramatically too.
